—adjThe moon is tidally locked to the earth, allowing us to see only one side of it. But because of its libration, or rocking from side to side, we can see much more of it over time. We can see from slightly different angles. But, only the astronauts have seen the "dark side" side of the moon, which, by the way is not always dark. People just started calling the other side, "the dark side" and it stuck. But although we know a lot about it, and men have walked on it, and left their junk sitting on it, it is still a romantic sight. Now, have a great day and don't spend too much time howling at the moon, you hear?

Kinda sorta like those old cartoon cards where you moved the thing a bit and you would see another view where the character moved, like swinging a bat at a ball or the wife smacking hubby with frying pan. Now that was entertainment! A two frame movie. Libration.

There are a lot of pictures out there of the "dark side" of the moon, It looks a lot different than the side facing us, a lot more craters. The dark side gets hit with more stuff than the side facing us.
